Search for apt title for Ram Charan and Rajamouli’s film is ended. After much brainstorming and mulling over several titles, Magadheera has been chosen for this much-awaited flick. S S Rajamouli, the master director of mass entertainers, felt that this title would be the apt for the film’s theme and content. The movie is a period love story with the element of reincarnation. Ram Charan and Kajal play lead roles while Srihari is donning the pivotal character. Geeta Arts is producing it on lavish scale.

Rajamouli is now canning key sequences at specially erected set at Ramoji Film City. Magadheera is slated for April release. By February end, the film’s entire shoot would be wrapped up. M M Keeravani is providing 6 excellent songs and the audio would be out in March.
